Complete traumatic MCP amputation of l mid finger, init

This code signifies the complete severance of the left middle finger at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint due to a traumatic injury. It indicates that the entire distal portion of the finger, from the MCP joint outward, has been traumatically detached from the hand.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a fresh, complete traumatic amputation of the left middle finger at the MCP joint. This is appropriate for the initial treatment and evaluation of the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial surgical consultation.

• Confirm the specific finger (middle) and side (left) of the amputation.
• Verify that the amputation is complete and at the MCP joint level, not partial or at a different joint.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
